But Chris Avellone, who dismisses himself as any authority, thinks Darth Revan 'kicks ass' with his epic 'strategies'. Obviously we take Chris Avellone's unofficial opinion over actual canonical inferences.

He took the Mando strategies and... copied them.✅

He used their own strategies and tactics against them, but he didn't "copy" them. That's misleading. He beat them because he fought like a Mandalorian with an understanding for sacrifice. In other words, he beat the Mandalorians at their own game. He beat the Mandalorians at being Mandalorian. I'm not surprised you can't grasp this concept though. You're intellectually slower than everyone on these boards, Ching and Kurk included.

Wrong. There's at least two or three people in the KoTORII/TOR forum squad that are dumber than Beni.

Every author's opinions on battles is able to be "taken with a grain of salt". I don't go up to Bart, ask for his opinion on a duel and then take it as canon. Authors aren't canon sources for versus battles, I don't get why people insist on using them as such. Karpyshyn even says:[B]"I'm not any kind of official expert or authority on Star Wars. I wrote some books for them, but I don't get to say what is or isn't canon or official or anything like that. [...] That's why I'm reluctant to answer questions like this; because even with all these caveats it's inevitable that fans will give my opinion more weight than it's worth. So, to sum up, I told you my opinion, but it doesn't have any real weight, importance or authority."
Now that doesn't go for all author statements, if someone's willing to clarify if something is a Nexus or not, if a character progressed through their source or not, or if they wrote their character to be capable of X, Y, or Z that's perfectly acceptable imho. Asking people who haven't written content for a decade to comment on characters that have been capped and rewritten since then really isn't steady ground for any kind of canon statement. Like seriously, when Avellone was writing for Kotot and by extension Revan, the public consensus was that Revan and the Exile were Sidious and Yoda tier respectively. The novel and SWTOR changed that at least somewhat, as did more detailed explorations of characters, but it's important to remember that it was then that Avellone was writing and actually creating for Star Wars 😬 [/B]
